Sacred Grove of Tyz in Campus Iazyges

The Sacred Grove of Tyz in Campus Iazyges was a grove consecrated to Tyz, the war god of the Goths. Captives from opposing tribes were sacrificed and their weapons hung on the trees to appease Tyz, but the cruel practice ended when the Eastern Roman Empire general Luca Flavius cut down the grove and destroyed the shrine, replacing it with a Christian church.
